23rd Annual Ontario Council of Folk Festivals (OCFF) Conference – Showcases

The OCFF’s annual Conference is the key event for Ontario’s folk, roots and traditional music community. The Official Showcases are a highlight of the Conference and feature artists performing for artistic directors and presenters from across Canada and around the world. Artists from folk, roots, traditional, world, blues, Francophone, aboriginal, spoken word, Celtic, electro-acoustic, culturally diverse and other related genres of music are welcome to apply.


Provincial, National and International applications will be accepted without restriction.
The 23rd annual OCFF conference will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, October 15-18, 2009. Speakers, seminars, roundtable discussions, informal meetings, performer showcases and the best jam sessions outside of the festival circuit make this conference an essential, inspiring experience for attendees.


All conference participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation. Applicants selected to showcase will receive a significantly reduced conference rate.
